Hey, there! Guessing who're meeting my alternate selves this chapter!
Surprise, it's Luan and Lily. Read and find out what are they going to play together...?
Disclamier: I don't own The Loud house (TLH belongs to Nick or ViacomCBs) nor Pisuke the dinosaur from Doraemon, only the fanfic.
All the siblings gathered into the twins' room after having dinner.
They couldn't handle the cuteness of Lana and Piju at way they slept.
"Aww, they are so cute and adorable when they sleep!" Leni said.
"Agree!"
"Totally!"
"Come on, guys! Let's bring them to their cozy bed!"
Some minutes after the siblings brought Lana and Piju to Lana's bed
"Lola, keep-an-eye on her and our nephew, ok?"
"Right, right! I got it!" She rolled her eyes.
All the siblings left and back to their room.
In Luna and Luan's room
(Literally, this was the first time I ever wrote others room, since I only did Lori and Leni's, the twins', and Lisa and Lily's.)
"First day over! Can't believe our nephew is passed a day on our life!" Luan commented. She marked an X on the calendar.
"Yea, whatever you say! The suspense nerve make my body itch like a fly lays on my hand everytime when thinking about how big Piju will be, dude!" Luna responded.
"I'm just searching on the internet and it says a full-grown Futabasaurus can be estimated about 21 to 30 feets tall!" Luan continued.
"Sounds ginormous problem to our little sister now, huh?" The rock musician crossed her arms, and she surprised at the information about the giant lizard specie.
"You know it!" The comedian girl replied.
"Anyways, it's been a long day for us, sis! Maybe we should head to bed!"
Luna climbed to the top of the bunk bed.
"Nighty night, sis!" Luna said and yawned.
"Have a 'sleep'ery dream, Lunes! Hahahah!!! Get it?!" Luan joked a good night wish.
Then, all the comedian heard was her roommate's softy snore.
"Oh, I didn't expect that reaction!" She laughed, "But why people ignore my jokes nowadays?" and turned serious and groaned.
"*Sigh* Who cares? I don't know to think about it anymore..."
Luan closed her eyes.
"Do my jokes always make me lame and tasteless in my siblings now? What can I do it different with them? "
In Luan's dream
Luan woke up in a proofroom, everywhere was empty, no objects decorated in there. The walls and floor and ceiling were containing gray blue smoke colour. (Sorry, if you don't know that look like, here's the code #84A1BD).
She looked around, the silences are the only thing who welcomes her.
"What is this place?" She stood up, started a first step.
The comedian girl continued a few more steps. Still nothing happened, she wondered.
"Why am I even here though?"
"Hello, is anybody hear me?!?!" She shouted.
"KNOCK, KNOCK!!"
A blue neon flashed the whole room twice. As a voice rang up each time the word was said by something.
"Who's there?" Luan gasped in a heart attack.
"I'M AN ANDROID!!"
Luan seemed realize what's going on. She clearly recognized it's the "knock knock" joke.
"Hey, sorry for breaking this, but I don't have amusement to do the knock knock joke with you,... and your name is... whatever it is." She spoke in a monotone voice.
"A-aWh!! YoU sUcH a KiLlJoY-JoY pE-pErSoN-sOn!! HaH-hAhAh-HaHaHaAh!!" The voice speaking somehow changed their tone to a version of the combine of male and female, so it's hard to identify their gender.
Luan kinda freak at that glitchy laugh.
"Come the hell on, show yourself." She ordered.
Then, a shadow appeared behind her.
"BoO!!!" They scared.
"Gahh!!" The girl screamed. She jumped backward.
"BuRn ThE fUn AnD pOsItIvE oF yOu NoW, hUmAn?" They said and laughed like previous.
Luan rolled her eye toward that person.
In front of her eyes. There's a grey girl humanoid robot about 5ft3 laughing like her original self in the original The Loud House Universe on april fool days but less maniac enough. They have grey skin and kinda purple-ish (#726EA9)? Darkest blue hair-coloured. The front hair has female 6/4 side part style, and those last lines are curly a bit, like they just heading to shower. As for the back long ponytail was thick and it's curly in the end, too. They have a grace smile, it seems never failed and always stick to an emotion. Eyes are pupils with the round blurry circles. They wore a light dull teal hoodie with the hood, cuffs, collar are darker colour compare to hoodie's main scheme, and black zippers. It seems they also had a white shirt underneath due to the bottom parts were fell out under the top layer. Dark ripped-jeans with grey fabric. And pair of black boots, the soles got mix the neon blue. They had small fluffy angel-like-wings and white neck bowtie.
"DoN't YoU lOvE mY jUmPsCaRe I gIvE yOu?" The robot wheezed. "AnD sEe ThE rEfErEnCe FrOm YoUr GoTh SiStEr?!"
"I have to tell you but that wasn't funny at all, plus, I almost lost my heart due your mischievious!" Luan answered.
"DuH! AnYwAyS, tHe NaMe'S N.A.T.U.R.A.L!" They talked without opening their mouth.
"Gurl, it sounds more like organisation name than name of a robot!" Luan commented.
"YoU kNoW wHaT!? i'Ve GoT tHe SaMe ThOuGhT aS yOu ArE aT tHe BeGinNing!! HaHaH-hAhAhA!!!"
"*Chuckles* I couldn't agree more, but can you stop laughing like that? It gives me goosebumps everytime I hear it!" She offered.
"We'Ll Do ThAt! FiNgErS cRoSs!!" Natural gave the comedian the fingers cross sign. That made Luan pissed off. "So HoW aBoUt We PlAy ThE gAmE fRoM nOw On?"
"Which kind of games?" Luan questioned.
"GuEsS... iT's RpG sInGlEpLaYeR bY mE!!!"
"Let me guess, you gonna summon a computer and we're gonna score many time and see who will win by comparing our points, right?"
"InCrEdIbLy WrOnG, bRaCeS gIrL!!" Natural did the incorrect on Luan.
"If it's not the thing I say, so what is it?" Luan questioned again.
"It'S aBoUt YoU hAvE tO bEaT mE!!"
"Geez, i think it will be that easy!" She scoffed.
"ArE yOu SuRe?!" They asked with a dark scary face, their pupils changed to a skull in right eye and a question mark in left eye.
The comedian girl was sweating after the Android's expression. "Y-y-yes...?"
"YoU'lL rEgReT wHeN 'THEY COME TO SEPERATE YOUR SIBLINGS AWAY FROM YOU'!! Lol!!" They criticized her frighteningly, "AnD iT's AlL... yOuR fAuLtS!!" and disappeared in the air.
"Hey, where are you?"
"ThE dAtA cEnTeR, i Am LoAdInG sOmE fIlEs FoR yOuR oUtFiT!!"
"Woah! I just notice this, I can't wear my daily outfit for your vitural game, right? Plus, my sister, Leni would complain like me, too." Luan realized.
"GoSh ThAt FaShIoNiStA gIrL aLwAyS cOmEpLAiNs AbOuT fAsHiOn FaGgOt WhEnEvEr FeWs Of SoMeOnE oR eVeN hEr ClOtHeS-wEaRiNg NoT fIt ThE aCtS/cIrCuMsTaNcEs!!" Natural joked and laughing their ass off about Luan's sister's behaviour.
"What? You know my sister?" Luan asked.
"YeAh!! I mUsT hAvE gOtTeN tO mEnTiOn ThAt I kNoW a LoT oF tHiNgS aBoUt YoUr FaMiLy, As YoU gUyS pLaYiNg A vItAl RoLe To ThIs UnIvErSe As WeLl, MaH FeMiNiNe FeLlA hUmAnY!!" The Android replied.
"Playing a vital role? To universe? What were those supposed to mean?" The comedian girl confused.
"YoU'lL sEe 'Em SoOn!!"
Then, the whole room went dark, she cannot see a thing that time.
Suddenly, a yellow digital screen shown in front of her face.
"Be HoLd, ThE oUtFiT cHaNgInG vIrTuAl ScReEn, I kNoW iT cLeArLy LiKe MaKiNg YoU wEaR aN iLlUsIoN dIsK tO mOrE cOoL aNd AwEsOmE bUt WhAt ThE hEcK!"
Luan began to choose the perfect thing to wear. She swiped to the right, her clothes changed to a tight bodysuit with main red scheme and black palettes on shoulders, bottoms short, cuffs, and boots.
"Wow! It looks so real!"
She swiped to the left in hat option. On top of her head, a hood in jacket appeared.
"Huh! I sudden feel I look like a ninja though... Jeez, this clothes better to Lynn's."
She removed the hood in hat option, then swiped again at the clothes option.
Her outfit changed to a samurai of kimono with a sword by her side.
"Oh my! I don't really think this kimono is suit me."
Then, Luan saw a free draw on screen. She pressed it and transfered the screen to a white page like in apps for drawing and animating.
"Hold up, maybe I could use this create a new thing to wear by myself?"
Her head popped up an awesome idea.
Return to hat option, she chose a polar bear mask. To the free draw costume, she started to design new clothes.
A few minutes later...
Luan after hard-working hours, it paid for her a prize. She submitted the arts, and it changed her clothes another once.
She wore a white blouse has medium sleeves and shoulder flaps. A black tie on collar, red pair of super gloves, inspired by one of Lisa's gadgets that she was used before. Cherry wood-coloured skirt covered that had blue-striped. She still kept her shoes and socks. Her weapon is a staff with top red spear. It was tying behind her back connected by a brown rope wore in front of chest of her.
"Ok, I'm ready, Natural!" The comedian girl exclaimed.
"WoO-oO-oAh! WhAt ToOk YoU sO lOnG? iTs BeEn 20 MiNuTeS pAsSeD bY-y!!" The android complained.
"Yeah, I was designing and creating an alternate clothes for me, I saw and thought your select options was so... what's the word... un-inspired, or lame, or something else!" She criticized.
"SeRiOuSlY, wHo'S eVeN iNvItEd YoU hErE?" They said, "hEy, WaIt! It'S tHaT pErSoN cAlLeD hErSeLf, ThE aUtHoR!!" and chuckled in the glitchy wave again.
"Stop talking to yourself, start your stupid game now!" Luan yelled.
"RiGhT, rIgHt, I kNoW!!"
Then, the Android appeared in the room.
"SuCh An OdD sTyLe OuTfIt-LoOkInG! I bEt YoU dOn'T sTaNd A cHaNcE tO bEaT sOmEoNe LiKe Me In ThAt SuIt, GuRl!!"
"We'll see about that, Robot the Laughter!"
[N.A.T.U.R.A.L the Glitch Robot
vs.
Luan Loud]
[Act I]
The battle began, Luan ran toward the enemy to attack.
Natural duck the move, he stretched his hand out and grabbed Luan's tie.
The girl pulled the elbow in her and knocked the Android down.
They teleported to somewhere.
She gasped and tried to look around.
Natural appeared at the opposite corner side by Luan.
"You told me I don't stand to you but look at you again, teleport farther than my distance, and make me have to come over your place!" She dashed at their location.
She jumped high up and used the spear at him.
"HeY, i Am JuSt TeStInG yOuR aGiLe SeNsE aNd SkIlLs-LeArNiNg." They slided to the left to dodge.
"Oh yeah? Then take this!"
She held tight the spear and threw at them.
He dodged that and commented in scornful. "DoEsN't YoUr GrAnDfAtHeR tEaCh YoU hOw To ThRoW a ShArP wEaPoN?!"
That made Luan growled in annoyance.
"Hah! You know what?" She did a punch to them and they teleported. "I may've not good at this thing but I better at another one in otherwise."
Natural shown behind Luan, they wrapped their hands around her.
"ReAdY fOr A sOmErSaUlT?" He carried her upwards, and she would've gotten a head crack after that.
Unfortunely, Luan's fighting instinct had turned on, she used hands to hold herself upside down when she nearly touched the floor. Which cause the Android being held as well. That was the first time the comedian flipped the deal, her legs wrapped around her enemy's body, he didn't think about movements of her nor prepare for a sweetest pain level.
"Try to do the flip like me!!" She smirked evilly.
Luan then picked them up and tossed against the wall. They fainted and laid on the floor.
"*Gasping* Woah, is that really hard enough?"
"Of CoUrSe, It IsN't!"
Natural stood up and seemed he didn't get any injures.
"AlRiGhT, nO mOrE pHySiCaL aTtAcK fRoM nOw On!!"
The Android summoned a lot of hi-tech holograms of hirs everywhere in room.
"LeT's PlAy SoMeThInG mOrE sPeCiFiCaLlY tHaN nOrMaL iDiOtS wOuLd Do!!"
Luan's thought.
"Great! I gotta kick all of their asses, eventhough only one among those holograms is the real version."
[Act II]
The comedian sighed slowly.
"Phew, it's good that she didn't notice some back-up secret gadgets I made earlier when I was designing outfit... And they were inspired from my siblings."
She kneel down, one leg bent in the front and other one in the back. Let her finger near the shoe and rubbed it. And to the right position.
"Fast racing charge!! In coming!!!" Luan ran toward the wall in front of her, didn't care to pass those holograms and made them disappeared.
Near the wall, she jumped to do a flip. Before laid her legs on the floor.
She said a catchphrase.
"LJ's super ground kick!!"
Her shoes when laid had create a powerful kick and smash a big crack on floor.
That crack so strong enough to make all the holograms turned themselves in the void.
"WeLl ShIt, ThIs PlAn Of Me Is RuInEd..." The robot muttered to herself.
"Rarrrh!!" Luan continued to attack her enemy.
"BuT iT's AcTuAlLy NoT oFfIcIaLlY rUiNeD tHoUgH..."
When the comedian girl nearly touched him. He patiently used a couple of fingers to snap her face. And she got knocked out and flied away.
"Oww, my head-" Before she could've finished her words. Luan suddenly felt she was paralyzing. "Ahh! What's happening to me?" She screamed, and felt like there's an electronic wave threatened her from the inside.
She saw they walked over her.
"GiVe Up, HuMaN!! ThE qUaNlItY sHoWeD yOu ThAt YoU hAvE hIgHeR cHaNcE tO bE lOsT aT mE iN tHiS mAtCh!!"
Luan still kept the slient and attack them.
Natural teleported to one of the previous place that it had appeared at.
"JuSt LiKe TwO oF yOuR sIsTeRs. ThE gOtH sIsTeR, sHe AlMoSt DiEd UnDeR mY sOfTiE vErSiOn'S bArE hAnDs-"
It said in excitement, while she's opposite with that. They teleported to somewhere again.
"-LuCkY tHaT sHe MaDe It ThRoUgH tHe ChAlLeNgE. AnD yOuR oLdEsT sIsTeR, sHe'S dEaLiNg WiTh My EdGy VeRsIoN!!"
She ran to them and used her gloves to punch. They changed their location again. Her strong punch created a small crack on wall.
"Who is that Softie along with Edgy? Tell me!" Luan shouted.
Natural showed himself behind her. "*Grabbing Luan's back* ThAt SoFtIe Is A sHoRt DwArF lOvEs To KiLl PeOpLe RaNdOmLy-"
Luan tried to give it a painful slap. But it held her fist in an easy way and felt like there's barely anything strong against it.
"-AnD tHe EdGy StUbBoRn DrEsS-wEaRiNg Me!! ShE iS tHe WoRsT cReAtIoN oF nOn-ExIsTeNcE pErSoN tHaT hUmAn YoU gUyS cAlLeD gOd!!-"
"Damn! What made her grip so freaking strong?! " The comedian girl gritted her teeth.
The Android then gave hir rival a heavenly hurl. Her knee contract with the ground first, so the injure of its started right there. And that made she screamed.
"-AnD dUh-Uh-hUh... YoUr SiStEr DiD mAkE a DeTeRmInAtIoN tO wIn. HoWeVeR, mY aLtErNaTe So BoReD aNd ShE gAvE uP oN eVeRyThInG!!"
Luan wheezed. "She gave up for Lori's winning!*Chuckles* ...Pathetic... What kind of dumb person is that?" While she still in hurt. "Ouch!"
Natural snapped fingers and a bandage appeared in his hand. He cured for her.
"What does she thinking? "
"EdGy Me Is A tOtAl BiTcH aNd BrUtAl SlUt!! ThAt'S aLl!!"
"Does she get infected by a toxic group or whatsoever had the same thing I'm saying?" She asked.
"TeChNiCaLlY, sHe WaS bOrN iN wOnDeRlAnD, aNd LiVeD aNd HaS bEeN lIvInG iN tHe PaStEl LaNd FoR yEaRs SiNcE sHe'S aN AnTi-SoCiAl AnD nEvEr ViSiT nO oNe!!" They answered.
"Wonderland? Kinda like Alice in Wonderland story or its fairy tale name!?"
"...YeEeEeEeEeEaAaAaAaAh?? AnYwAyS!!..."
[Act III]
The Android held the comedian's neck and squeezed her to create a bone crack sound.
"*Cough* A-are y-you *Cough* cr-cra-zy-zy?!?!" She said in breathy voice.
It threw her toward the wall. And began walking to Luan.
She non-stop felt hurt in the back after being tossed.
When Natural almost reached Luan another time, after time-through-time tried to beat the shit out of her, they still didn't stop their action on a teenage girl.
"Hah! Gotcha! Taste another slip of mine!!" She suddenly acted like she was fully recovering.
"WhAt ThE w-"
Luan once again, flipped the deal. She turned up, and slided her shoe under its legs. To create a sliding friction force on floor. Natural still duck that move. He seemed changing his mood.
"Lola's skating trail!"
"WhAt Is ThAt FoR-" The instinct of it only aimed to the comedian girl. Who's now skating around the room, and made them confused as heck. Eventhough her shoes aren't skate shoes by the way.
"Would you mind skating with me?"
"FuCk OfF, i DoN't GiVe A cArE!!"
The Android started to teleport again, they appeared at one of the previous locations that they had stood on for easy way to approach Luan.
Unfortunely, when he stood on there, he felt he got failed.
"Pffttch, I totally forgot! You're a robot and I don't think your appetite is floor!!" She laughed.
They turned angry and teleported mutiple times, but all they got were slippery floor tried to ruin their precious-self.
"WhY dId YoU dO tHiS?" The robot stammered in tiredness.
Luan stopped and did a giggle. She explained. "Because of course, don't you understand my sense and current skills I had now, genius!" ; "I've seen your teleport thing after so much times, I suddenly figured it wasn't you actually teleport or changed your locations at all." ; "At the beginning, you appeared in the room, I saw you were wandering around our conversation's section some small walks, instead of approached me. Then, before we started battling, while I am drawing my outfits, I think you already something very strong; Therefore, that gives me an idea to create the gadgets and stuff, which are inspired by my siblings to help me in fight. During our fight, I always noticed every moves you did. About the teleport ability of yours, after a lot of times witnessed it till now, I only seeing you change your current place to others, especially those are the places myself has seen you at beginning since you revealed true self in here, that time you were going, standing normally, and acting like there's nothing weird happened then. And I conclude that ability isn't teleport, it is 'Rewind the location'!"
The robot never stopped surprise at what the girl just said. "Le GaSp!!"
"*To readers* Hey, wait! Hold on, if you still don't understand of that ability meaning. It is very simple-"
Natural took the opportunity, she jumped high up and tried to kick Luan's face.
Luan sense that coming, she immediately dodged by leaping down through Natural's crotch.
"Rewind the location is an ability help user rewind and changed their current location to the previous that they're standing on."
Natural turned back, she dared to use the paralyze power once more.
However, Luan now had experience about that move. She leaped up on the air in calm and nice way quickly.
That move of robot wasn't hit the right target, as it missed that.
"To be understand more clearly. I will tell you an example..."
Luan pulled out a big water gun behind her back. She shot water out so strong enough that it could make the Android got pinned against the wall.
"Take Natural as the main subject, she walks to the location A, then she stands there to do something like save checkpoint in video games, and she left the location A and go to the location B. When someone as an object she wants to attack go to the A's section, all she's need is use that power and rewind back to the previous location that she just saves from."
Natural after got splashed. She stood up and ready to teach Luan a real lesson after she tortures him as he also tortures her as well.
They teleported somewhere. But this time, Luan terrified and paid attention to her rival. She realized that the spot where she stands on to beat them hadn't waxed by the shoes yet, that means Natural could be rewind the location to attack her.
Natural appeared in front of Luan, it gave her a kick in the face and it hit the target.
"Gahh!!" Luan felt hurt. Her nose started bleeding, and an eye of her turned to a bruise.
Then, Android pinned the comedian to the wall.
"ThIs Is pAyBaCk AfTeR yOu DrAg Me InTo DaMaGe SiTuAtIoNs!!" He said in lower voice.
"Oh-oh, real-really?! *Smile* How about..." She held both upper hands of hir.
Luan then picked 'em up, spun around a few times and tossed him to the wall again, where she has thrown the spear now plugged on it.
Natural got stabbed through hir heart was placed, ze were exploded and left only a small amount of black dust on floor, but it's also disappeared in a frame.
"What the hell is she though?" Luan gasped.
The sound of silence filled in the room for a while.
"Am I... win...?"
"SoRrY bUt NoT tOdAy, HuMaN!!" The glitchy laugh of Natural wandered in her ears, despite his asbent.
"*Gasp* How...? I thought I beated you, and you're still... alive!?" She gulped in sweating.
"No WaY, yOu HaVeN't BeAt Me AfTeRwArD NoR EvEnTuAlLy!!" ; "ThAt VeRsIoN oF mE yOu WeRe DeAlInG wItH iS jUsT a DiGiTaL cLoNe!!"
"What!? All I did to survive as myself almost getting killed by that robot and turn out it is just a clone?" She shouted aloud.
"HaHaH-hAhAhA!! ThEn My MiSsIoN hErE iS dOnE!! hOpE yOu ThInKiNg AbOuT tHe MeSsAgE i AlReAdY sUbMiTtEd YoU!!" ; "HaVe FuN iN tHiS pRoOfRoOm, SwEeTiE!~"
And the voice cut the connection.
"Hey, don't leave me like this! Let me outta here, you fool!!" Luan yelped.
The room turned bright every places. Its lights were bright enough to make the comedian covered her eyes.
"Aaaahhh!!!" She screamed.
The screen showed Luan was surrounded in the light... and it's the end of her dream.
In reality
Luan got up and found herself still in her usual room with her sister, Luna, who's still sleeping soundly on top of the bunk bed.
She breathed non-stop slowly.
"What am I just dreaming? It's so weird, I don't get it... like every details..."
Then, Luan felt itch in her nose, and she sneezed.
Put her hand to cover the nose, she smells something like blood. She tried to take a look on her palm.
Surprise caught her, the center of palm was containing red blood, it's very dark, and fresh as new.
Luan immediately grabbed a mirror and looked to herself. Eye-to-eye can't express a normal emotion, she freak out because her nose bled like in her dream during the end of fight.
"My nose is bled...! "
The blood stain flew at some angles to make sentences. The write wasn't very clearly and small. It said:
THEY ARE IMPORTANT
THEY AND YOU WILL DO GOOD
DON'T TURN BACK YOUR TALENT IF YOU TRY TO GIVE UP
–N.A.T.U.R.A.L
In Lily's dream
Lily woke up in the void like Lucy, and Leni during the rest of her dream.
The toddler got up and walked around that place, she hadn't knew where exactly she was that time.
"Where am I?" She questioned herself.
A dark huge and lanky figure moved passing by.
Lily turned around, her face showed worry. But that person switched their place and moved behind Lily, who's now looking at the opposite side.
They walked slowly toward Lily, whom not realised there's someone at her back.
Then, they touched Lily's shoulders, she screams the hell out of her head.
The toddler turned around, she saw a teenage girl about 5ft5 (1m65), meaning she is as tall as Lori. She wears a grey crop tops has high turtleneck underneath an white camisole covered her chest, although she is flat as heck; long sleeves are rolled up and white gloves. Blue short abdominal belt. Dark black boyshorts with laces connected to black sockings, pair of high-heel boots had the same colour and that even makes her taller. Black cloak with a white stripe at bottom part. There were some scarecrow dolls sticking randomly on her. She has a yellow visor cap, a foreshadow covered the half face; only the right eye shows her brown with black pupil is shown, and a lavender button falls out but got held by a red nerve; the left one is unseen it seems she can still see everything with both eyes. Her face formed a creepy smile with yellow teeth inside.
"Hello there, lil' Lily!" She greets in cheerful.
"Uhmm, hi! Who are you?" Lily greets back, and she questions.
"Haha... In reality, I'm not that important to the lore of this Universe where you're living in, but today is my turn to shine!" ; "Call me Natural, or N for short! And I'm a soul huntress."
"Na-tu-ral? Is that even a name?" Lily questioned again.
"Actually, that's a high doubt question if a kid like you ever asked! But normally, that word maybe using as a noun to describe something related to nature, and google translate always translate that to its original name in a lot of languages. In short, I don't think it's a name after all, and prrobably more like a nickname for people calling each other to keep their real name in secret."
"So... did Lily prwonounce your name right?"
"Yes, you did! A pretty high respect to you, little girl!" Natural's face showed a happy expression. She patted the toddler's head.
"But why do I here?" Lily asked curiously.
"Due your future fate, the mission had told me to come to train you for your current power powered-up. I'm not gonna point out to the whole major problem right this time and now, but let's talk about it later and on." Natural answered, she poked on the necklace of Lily.
"What is fate?"
"Fate is word to describe someone's life events, and they have to face in order in their life and cannot be changed through that because they were the chosen one."
"Then what is my fate?"
"Oh, yours...? Very simple, it is..."
The tall soul huntress turned very scary, even made a kid like her would afraid as well.
"¡¡F@ce the £vils with your family and finally end all its chaos!!" Her voice sounds low and kinda grumpy, her eye was shining up and body grew higher.
That cause the little youngest Loud to trembling.
Natural immediately back to normal and comfort the girl by grab her shoulders to calm her.
"Shh!! Shh!! It's okay, okay! I didn't mean to scare you, I'm so sorry, really sorry! Please don't hate me, lil' Lily!" She felt like guilty when she said those word to Lily.
Lily surprised because the soul huntress' action, and forgave her.
"That's ok, Lily will not and never hate you!" She shows a comfort smile.
"Thanks, goodness!" ; "Get to the main point, shall we?"
Lily nodded in agree.
"Isn't me strong enough to protect my family?" The toddler questioned.
"No, you didn't. The necklace is need your health transfer to it for producing energy source for its power-creating shields; it's why you feel tired and exhausted each times if you use that too far without control your health carefully." The soul huntress answered.
"I only know it needs my health to transfer and become the power for my necklace from my sister, Lisa. But I haven't knew its negative payback cause me into hurt myself until you told me now. So, will you going to train me?"
"Yes, I will. However, I can do this a half, because Universe rules and timeline are need to correct the balance all the times. If I am gone too over the capacity, the 'Time Patrol' won't be able to send me into your world anymore, after they restart everything that exsiting in here. And you... and your family... will be die... very soon!"
Lily didn't understand the first lines of her dream friend, but when the two last ones were spelled out, she can't blink for a second and grew curiosity.
"What? Why me and Lily's family will be die?" She asked in sobbing.
The soul huntress' smile then getting lower and lower by times, until its teeth not showed anymore.
"No you won't. It's very complicated, you don't understand the rules nor consequences of tampering a Universe's timeline." Natural said.
"So that means we still gonna die?" Lily asked again.
"No, you're not! They and you will be fine! Thanks to me and others me, you guys are safe in the future for that matter!" Natural responded. "Anyways, let's start my favorite game ever!"
"Hmm?! I thought you were trying to train me?" Lily tilted her head.
"Yeah, the game I mention is training lesson XD" She did the XD face emoji.
"Well, okay! You are very weird, much than my big siblings behaviours!" Lily stated in a monotone voice.
The soul huntress snapped fingers and Lily got changed.
She wore a lavender camisole over her usual white small shirt, black comfy shorts, and white sneakers with folding-soles.
"Wow, did you just change my clothes? In a snap?"
"Yes, I did. I think that you would prefer in this form than your usual wearing."
"Hey, do you know what? You're actually very cool, the thing you just done and your smile kinda like a tall red guy dressed in gentleman-like have same color as his hair with weird ears-looking I saw in my previous dream from months ago, but I already forget its details. Except the fact he was drawing in the air front of me instead of snapping."
"Ha, that's funny! Should we start now, little girl?!"
"I guess so!"
Natural took a doll, raised it on high and said the spell.
"Spirit of Sport Commentator"
A round circle with many unknown symbols on it, it looked like ritual symbol appeared in front of her after she spelled.
Then, a spiritual-like was summoned on the platform.
They have white invisible body and average male height. Common male hair-style, normal brown hair and eyes. He wears a set of black suit and tie over a long sleeves chemise. With casual bottoms and dress shoes. He also carried a mic by his side.
"Hello, mistress! Is there anything you call me to help?" The spirit spoke to his owner.
"Well, it's not very big favor, would you be our commentator/arbitration in this training lesson, Mr. L?"
The commentator looked behind and saw Lily.
He nodded and agreed. "With pleasure, I'd like to serve your offer, mistress."
Commentator L. then raised his hands and summoned them into a gym room, but no sport objects for practicing.
Both Natural and Lily were standing in the opposite side.
"This gonna be a hard fight for you, because I am more powerful than anyone but I won't show it here. I'll let you beat me up to control your power more fluently." The soul huntress said and took a doll out of her back.
"I will find and cure my mistakes in using my protection power ever again, and I'm all ready." The toddler held her necklace and then fists.
"Spirit of Doctor injecting medicine" She spelled out loud and a needle appeared in her hand.
Lily realized that she saw her worst fearful enemy in life, of course that she has Aichmophobia (my AU). Nevertheless, she won't run away like a coward and started facing her fear.
"Hey, there! Children, wanna taste something good, if you don't... *Demonic voice* You still have to let me inject the injection into yours!!" Natural spoke in an entirely different tone, like someone was possessing her that time.
"What happen to you, Natural?" Lily surprised.
"I am not Natural, she is my mistress and I'm borrowing her body to help you in this case!" Doctor said.
"Ok, whoever you are! Attack me!!" Lily ordered.

{Training lesson begins}
Spirit of Sport Commentator/L's POV:
Doctor threw the needle to Lily, she informed a shield to protect herself. The needle then flied back onto its owner hand.
Doctor hadn't stopped, he did another throw again.
Lily still kept her shield. That time, she felt hurt a bit.
"Ouch, why am I hurt while my shield is the thing he attacks?" Lily commented.
"Don't you get my explanation at beginning? The necklace's ability only be used when your health energy is tranfered into it for producing power. The shield is made from your health, if you continue focusing on holding it for that long, the shield will become like a part on your body; Therefore, Spirit of Doctor injecting medicine's weapon when touch the protection shield, you gonna feel there is something carve against your skin!" Natural's voice shouted from her own body.
Lily undertood her mistake in using the necklace.
"It seems Lily Loud has been noticed her mistake from the beginning, what is she going to do next?"
The toddler recalled the shield, what is she up in this match?
"I bet you can't catch me in this physical move!" Lily commented.
She ran around rapidly on the battle section to tease that Doctor cannot use his needle at that time.
"Lily is running around the match playground, what will Doctor gonna do while he can't throw the needle and against this agile little kid!"
"Ohohoh!! Who's saying I can't do this boring ass trick of yours?" He chuckled. "I will you how I could've done!"
He summoned a web filling a lot of needles from top.
"Oh my god! He summons a web of needles, I doubt that Lily's shield isn't gonna survive this."
Lily was planning something because she stopped and aimed those sharp objects when narrowed her eyes toward them.
When they fell down, she activated her power. A bigger shield appeared above her head, she controls it up and all the needles were laid on then flied away from a far distance. She's escape from the syringes wave.
"Chtt!! It isn't damaged than last time I did." Lily does a smug face.
"Grrrhh!!" Doctor growled in anger.
He's about to do his usual moves again. But Natural had taken and took over her body back prevent him from attack the toddler.
"Alright, alright! That's enough Miles! *To Lily* I definitely switch to someone else, Lily. Miles is a hardhead like your sister!" Natural explained.
"Uhm, okay? Go ahead!" Lily added.
"Spirit of Ballet Dancer" Natural used a different doll and read the spell.
"Ballet dancer?" Lily surprised.
Natural called the doll that had Spirit of Ballet Dancer, does that mean she will defeat Lily in the most easy way? By dancing...
"Shall you take a dance with me, little girl? I'd like to teach and show children my talent!" Natural body as a spirit possessed and talked in a heartly and warmful voice.
She moved near the toddler by moving like dancers in competitions.
She picked her hands and threw Lily back upward.
"It seems she has flip the deal, the young Ballet Dancer has shown us some sort of dance pose but I don't know what it calls, because I'm not a big fan of ballet dances thing!!"
"Aaahh!!" Lily screamed and immediately created a shield to land safe on that.
"That is a move, too?" She jumped down after made the shield disappeared.
"Of course, I'll show you some more!"
Ballet Dancer said and moved to Lily by doing the slow jump moves in ballet dance.
"What now?! " Lily narrowed her eyes closely.
The dancer bow herself down while she falls backward to the sky. As then she kicked Lily upward again.
"I am flying away again!!" Lily got blasted far out of the scene sight.
"Shoot!" Ballet Dancer jaw-dropped.
Natural then took over her body again.
"Wow, that's so f#ck3d up! I guess you're going a little overboard, Sara, even more than the last time you did to your step-parents when they scolded in your face." The soul huntress commented. "*Sara's voice wander in the ears* Ya ya ya, blah blah blah... Focus on catch that kid, mistress!"
"Oh crap! Almost forgot! Hang tight, Lily! I'm gonna catch you!!" She used another doll.
"Spirit of Shadow Cloak"
Author's POV:
Then, Natural had ability to fly, she flied in a fast speed, and as soon that she caught Lily and landed down in peace.
"Sorry about Sara's kick, she thought she doesn't make any mistake like this but turn out it's just the opposite!" The soul huntress apologized.
"That's okay! And hey, did you use a doll of someone's spirit to save me?" The toddler wondered.
"Exactly, all effort goes to spirit of Shadow Cloak!"
"Does he or she can only fly?"
"Well, in reality, perhaps if the air contains no or less carbonic, so he could fly y'know!"
"And exactly I state this but your talk prefer to go to Lisa, aka my genius sister!"
"No, there is a reason why I choose you but not any of your sisters!"
"*Gasp* You know my sisters?"
"Yes, I know you and your sisters... and brother in general!"
"Huh?" Lily jumped out of Nautral's hands. "What's the matter about choosing me?"
"I do want to see a sibling like you...!" She declared in a monotone voice.
"Are you the only child or something?" Lily questioned.
"No, not entirely... I left my home, before my brother was born!" ; "I haven't nor did see him in person ever since I heard the news about his birth!" Her smile went lower.
"But you don't have to cover your real emotion by that weird smile. Besides, my daddy would cry alone in the corner, or try to hold his tears so no one can see 'em, except my mom."
"That's your daddy's acting when he sees an emotion thing to him, but each person has different way."
"You love kids, don't you?"
"Yes, I do. I love kids who're younger than me. And kinda jealous in guts when seeing your siblings can become role model elder siblings to you, while I can't do for my little brother."
"You don't visiting your brother nor your family!"
"No, I saw a prediction from Shadow Cloak that my power gonna be an obsession energy spreads to pull negative things to harm my family! It's why I left my home and never to be seen again by them."
"That's sad! If you're leaving, what's the point of yours back then and now while you aren't home anymore?"
Natural's smile became as usual she does.
"Simple, collect, make the deals to unfree spirits and help them until they finally rest in peace! My world is containing full of rage and chaos souls. Soul Hunting is one of the most casual job as any other normal occupation of humanity in there, I personally joined it because I found my power can asorb and hold the souls in me, and I thought that is an interesting experience for life."
"It's sound boring to me! Collecting souls is more like an unpopular activity to people in my world but it probably sounds as bad as if we witness and see it in person."
"Absolutely, they won't survive throught that either!" Natural looked up and told Spirit of Sport Commentator. "Please end this training period, L! I think Lily and I want to have a little talk."
"Ok, I understand!" L said.
"Spirit of Sport Commentator, I am going to renounce you." The soul huntress recalled her soul.
"Renounce!" As then L disappeared.
To the current dreamy duo,
"Anything you want to bring up, lil' Lily?" Natural questioned.
"Well... how about our future?" Lily suggested, "What are you going to do when you grow up? Or after that previous event you mentioned?"
"Probably in the future, I will (c e n s o r e d)! About after the rage and chaos souls thing ends, I may ask the Mage of Time to restart the timeline in my world, I could reunite with my family again!" Natural answered.
"Isn't it has any plot hole in there? I thought if he restarts the timeline meaning you still become a soul hunter like current time?" Lily replied.
"Yep, there's a few things could be possible! Mage of Time already restart things in my world 99 times. I hear if he does 100th time, everything will remain the same and everyone's memory can be lost ; And besides, if I don't beat the final boss, the most powerful person in my world, when Mage of Time restarts the time of 100; I would still be the soul huntress, a teen with creep smile, had no friends, friended with unfree soul forever, lost memory about my early life." The soul huntress explained.
"Where's the Time Patrol? Aren't they supposed to be responsible for you?" The toddler asked.
"Time Patrol is not the only group who controls the timeline tightly, they have to watch and catch the wanted dangerous universe criminals along side with Universe Patrol. And there are lots of alternate realities existing, so they must choose ways carefully; Tampering by a wrong move, the Universe will fall apart... Oh wait, what am I saying? I am supposed to warn you a message and have the training lesson together!"
"Uhh... what did you say again?" Lily confused. But then, she saw a huge spirit behind her dream friend.
"Careful, behind you!!" She shouted as loud as she can.
The soul attacked the duo rapidly. Lily closed her eyes in fear.
After seconds didn't hear anything, she opened her eyes slowly. Surprise caught her, eye-to-eye couldn't blink.
Natural spun her neck 180 degrees, her eye changed to pure white along with the smile made her even more scarier.
The soul has stunned since she turned around, it looked like stop by time. As right 3 seconds after Lily opened her eyes. It exploded in a flash.
Natural turned to normal, she showed her friendly act to Lily again.
"Don't be worried! That rage soul is gone!"
Lily nodded in trembling.
"Do you want to say to me anything?" The toddler asked.
"See you soon, lil' Lily! I wish I could be one of your sisters!" The soul huntress said, put her hands behind her back.
And she shined up in the white background void. Causing Lily to cover her eyes.
"Aahhh!!"
Back to reality again
Lily woke up back in her bedroom. Her roommate sister, Lisa, who's sleeping soundly in a weird position on the bed.
She felt bad inside and need to use the bathroom. The youngest Loud climed out of her cradle. She opened the door and went outside.
In the other side, Luan also stepped out from her room.
"Lily?" Luan wondered.
"Luan!" Lily surprised.
"Why are you going out here?" The comedian girl questioned.
"I am just want to go to the bathroom!" The toddler answered, she asked next. "You're going to bathroom, too!?"
"No, go first, Lily! Imma go grab some water to drink, I guess I can't handle it for a later!" Luan said. As she goes downstairs.
Lily shrugged and went to bathroom.
The last scene changed to Luan, now's in the garage.
She threw all of her perform stuff in a box, there's a paper on and wrote "No more meaning to me". And another box next to her with a few things and a paper like the other one, but this one said "Keep back".
She held the lighter up, triggered it and created a small amount of fire.
"Sorry, I'll be the patient one for a while."
End chapter
A/N: Sorry for 2 months without upload any chapter. Btw, alternate mes in Luan's dream is from Endless AU and Lily's from Shadow Hunter AU. Robot me is genderfuild and genderqueer so they own a lot of different pronouns, mostly use he/him/his/they/them/their/it/its despite having a teen girl appearance; Soul huntress me is one of the most powerful ones due her cleverness and wise act, but those personalities aren't big deal to her inner mind selfish goal, she actually loves children more than anything.
I'll have the exam next week, so maybe I could back in January 2023.
